Graham,
Does Stuart's app therefore go against these conditions?

Subject: citation counts in repositories
Stuart Lewis has recently done a nice piece of work for displaying
Scopus citation counts in DSpace (see http://blog.stuartlewis.com/2009/10/30/displaying-citation-counts-in-dspace/
). He relies on the presence of a DOI to lookup a DSpace item, but
it's easy to extend his work to search on title/author/year where a
DOI doesn't exist.
The Scopus API that Stuart uses is all about "displaying Scopus data
in the browser" and there is an implicit assumption that the citation
data will not be sequestered and stored permanently in the repository
against the original record. However, this doesn't seem to be
explicitly forbidden. Can anyone who has experience with using Scopus
data confirm this?
